1957: Troopers on routine patrol in the town of Apalachin, Tioga County, took notice of multiple expensive autos with out of state license plates arriving in the small town west of the City of Binghamton. The vehicles made way to the home of Joseph Barbara, who was known to be connected with organized crime. An investigation was initiated, and as Troopers began to take down license plate numbers, panic ensued, as a number of the men fled into the nearby woods. Others ran inside the residence while some attempted to leave the area by car. Troopers set up a roadblock on the only road out of the area and interviewed a total 62 men who were later identified as known Mafia leaders from New York, New Jersey, Florida, California, Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Cuba. Further investigations revealed that two New York mobsters, Vito Genovese and Frank Costello, had been fighting with one another for control of the Luciano crime family and that Genovese had called for this nationwide meeting of mob leaders to get all the families to acknowledge his control. This single incident is significant as it demonstrated the extent of Mafia activity in the United States. The events have been portrayed in several movies, including Analyze This, 1999 (Robert DeNiro and Billy Crystal), Goodfellas, 1990 (Ray Liotta, Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci), and The Valachi Papers, 1972 (Charles Bronson).
